  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Bottled up in lead role

    Gibson rushed 13 times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

    Gibson got 13 of the 17 carries by Patriots running backs prior to the final drive in Rhamondre Stevenson's (foot) absence, but the Texans weren't scared at all of rookie quarterback Drake Maye's arm in Maye's first NFL start and focused on shutting down the Gibson-led running game. That approach limited Gibson to a pitiful 1.5 yards per carry and could serve as a blueprint for Jacksonville's defense in Week 7, though the 1-5 Jaguars are unlikely to execute nearly as well when they face the Patriots in London. If Stevenson sits again, Gibson would have a nice opportunity to bounce back as the lead back against a Jacksonville defense that's surrendering 29.7 points per game.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Set for more work with Stevenson out

    Gibson is in line for a larger workload Sunday against the Texans with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) ruled out for the contest, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Gibson thus should earn a second consecutive start, but he also won't have to worry about Stevenson taking some of the backfield reps this time around due to the latter's foot injury. Through five contests this season, Gibson has averaged 8.6 touches per game, so it's unclear how many more reps he may be able to handle in the Patriots offense. On the other hand, Sunday also will mark Drake Maye's first career start, meaning the game plan may be more ground-based to alleviate pressure on the rookie quarterback. In the end, Gibson is poised to handle a healthy portion of New England's RB snaps and may have to contend with only JaMycal Hasty and practice-squad members Kevin Harris and Terrell Jennings for touches.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Fills complementary role in start

    Gibson rushed six times for 52 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 24 yards.

    Gibson opened the game as the starter with Rhamondre Stevenson briefly demoted due to early-season fumbling issues. However, by game's end, Stevenson had doubled up Gibson in carries and had seen quadruple the number of his teammate's targets as well. Nevertheless, Gibson performed admirably with the rushing opportunities he did see, recording the second-longest run of the day in the process. Given Stevenson's strong performance Sunday, Gibson figures to remain in a complementary role when New England welcomes in the Texans for a Week 6 home battle.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Headed for Week 5 start

    Gibson is slated to draw the start at running back for the Patriots on Sunday against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Rhamondre Stevenson, who signed a four-year, $36 million extension this past offseason, has been operating as the team's lead back, but with four fumbles on 74 touches through the first four weeks, head coach Jerod Mayo has elected to turn to Gibson as the team's starter Sunday. That said, Mayo noted that Stevenson, who is averaging 4.1 yards per carry on the season, will play versus Miami, but his ball-security issues of late have opened the door for Gibson (5.3 yards per carry on 29 attempts) to see added snaps, at least in Week 5. With that in mind, Gibson offers a fantasy lineup alternative for those currently in need of running back help due to bye weeks or injury issues.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: In line to start versus Fins

    Gibson is in line to start at running back in the Patriots' Week 5 matchup with the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Head coach Jerod Mayo stated Friday that Rhamondre Stevenson has officially lost his starting role for at least Week 5. The reason for this is due to his fumbling issues through four games. As a result, Gibson is presumably the next man up in New England's backfield. The veteran back has accumulated 155 yards on 29 carries, while hauling in seven passes for 82 yards. While Stevenson is still expected to play a role in the offense as a depth option, Gibson should get an opportunity to shine versus Miami.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Could start Sunday

    Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that having Gibson start over Rhamondre Stevenson in Sunday's game against the Dolphins is "under consideration" due to Stevenson's fumbling issues, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Stevenson has started each of the Patriots' first four games, carrying 65 times for 267 yards and two touchdowns but coughing up the ball four times. Given Stevenson's recent ball-security issues, Gibson -- who has logged 29 carries for 155 yards thus far -- is a candidate to see added snaps, possibly in a starting role. In such a scenario, Gibson represents a possible lineup option for those in need of help at running back Week 5.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Rips off big reception

    Gibson rushed six times for 12 yards and caught three of four targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.

    Gibson got some work late in Sunday's lopsided loss after starter Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled for the second time in as many weeks. The veteran backup made his mark on the contest with a 50-yard reception in the fourth quarter. While Gibson outperformed Stevenson on a per-touch basis, he still trailed the latter by nine combined touches on the day. The former Washington Commander has generated some deep-league appeal with a couple of standout performances, but a change in roles would be necessary for Gibson to become a weekly starter in fantasy.
